The cash wasted on failed global warming policies would be better spent on tackling the problems faced by the poor

Seven years ago, pulled along by huskies, David Cameron visited a Norwegian
glacier. Vote blue, he implored, and go green. One year later Kevin Rudd
became Prime Minister of Australia after identifying climate change as the
“greatest moral challenge of our time”. Climate change campaigners
interpreted his victory as one of seismic importance and governments across
Europe rushed to pour money into the renewable energy sector. Then in 2008
along came Barack Obama. The wicked George W. Bush was replaced with a
president who promised to stop global warming. Hurrah!
